Hmm I dont know why everyone dis's Ford. Right now I have 2 GM, a CV an F350 and an Explorer sitting in my driveway, all in good condition. As far as repairs go, nothing really out of the ordinary, A few suspension parts, and a fuel pump pretty much sums up the problems we have had with them. Granted Ford COULD have used better parts for the ball joints, but considering what VW has been having issues with, the Ford parts are having a better track record. The Explorer is OK, its not my type of vehicle, too small. I had a 97 V8 AWD, sucked gas like crazy, but held its own pulling a 7000lb horse trailer. Had an F150, never had an issue other than a faulty ground wire in the wiper motor which was covered under warranty. The only reason that was sold was I found an F350 Dually crew cab lariat powerstroke for a steal and traded it in on that. My wife has a 98 Explorer, and the only thing that has been replaced in over 113000 miles were the shocks and front rotors. As far as the other models they make, well cant comment on those since they are FWD and I will never own another FWD car after finding out the hard way just how hard it is to pull out of a spin in one of those once you lose all traction. I tend to like big cars and the Fords have never let me down. I cant say the same for GM, and Chrysler just doesnt do it for me.
